OF FOR BY

For about 2 days, we have the lectures discussing the political structure differences between China and US. Honestly, I myself didn’t have a great time, sometimes I feel unhappy about some biased opinion conveyed by the professor.

There exists no system that is genuine democracy after all, even the system of USA. So-called “of the people, for the people, by the people” government started off in USA and have flooded onto the globe everywhere; every government regards their legislation given by the people. Nevertheless, here is a question prompted for years, what politician on earth really cares?

The president of America is elected by the number or in other words, the impact of the consortium he can collect during the champion. In return, he will formulate some laws to benefit those people when he takes off the presidency. How can this be called “for the people”?

American government tends to play a role that is judged by its people and media avoiding criticizing, thus their decision is passive to a great degree while Chinese government tends to decide where is the country heading to in order to improve people’s living standard, thus they are Initiative. But the corruption and flaw exist amid the system everywhere as well. There are always leaders in the highlight we admired a lot who turned out to pursue their own interests. I am not saying that one is superior to the other. It seems that two of them are in the stage that cannot be dodged to get though during the development of any nation, advanced or not.

Of the people, by the people, for the people? It’s just not that simple, I believe.
